WAGO PFC200 2xEthernet RS-232/-485 750-8212

The WAGO PFC200 750-8212 is a powerful programmable logic controller (PLC) featuring a dual Ethernet interface and a configurable RS-232/RS-485 serial port. Designed for industrial automation, it combines high performance with flexible connectivity, making it ideal for demanding control applications.

Advantages

Equipped with an ARM Cortex A8 processor at 600 MHz, the PFC200 offers fast processing for complex tasks. Its 256 MB RAM and 256 MB flash memory provide ample space for programs and data. The integrated SD card slot supports up to 8 GB for additional storage. With two 10/100Base-T Ethernet ports and support for multiple protocols (MODBUS TCP/UDP, EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, BACnet/IP, OPC UA), it ensures seamless integration into existing networks. The serial interface can be configured as RS-232 or RS-485, supporting MODBUS RTU/ASCII. The controller runs on Linux with RT-Preempt, offering real-time capabilities. It is programmed via CODESYS V2/V3 (IEC 61131-3), providing a familiar development environment.
